Technical details
A vulnerability classified as Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400) exists in vantage6's MFA reset API routes. Prior to version 5.0.0, the application does not implement rate limiting on the number of MFA reset emails that can be requested. An attacker with valid user credentials (password) can repeatedly trigger the API to flood a target's mailbox or exhaust SMTP server resources. While the requirement for a correct password limits the impact, the lack of throttling can lead to service degradation or reputation damage for the sending mail server. The issue is resolved in version 5.0.0.
